rosnik Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi friends, I'm losing my mind to look for the way to get the '727 replica DW bridges' on my Valjoux72 for my 6265 Daytona. The bridges appear to be totally off, and Domenico can not get them in work. Do you solved already? Tips are welcome! thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migge Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 From my experience, if domi cant do it, it can not be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm in accord with you| The only problems is that DW in convinced that we can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 As I found out building my 6238/9, all Valjoux 72 bridges (and movements)are not the same size. The V72 from my Heuer wouldn't even fit in my DW case. Luckily I had a Wittnauer V72 which was smaller and fit right in. Also, maybe DW's bridge is off slightly- chinese manufacturing tolerances....

wiesn089 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I don't think any of these bridges will fool a seasoned collector and who else would want to take a look at the movement? I've got an unbranded V726 ticking away in my 6265 and though I am normally for 100% accuracy I won't spend a single dime on a movement bridge. I also fear that maybe the function of the movement might get affected by exchanging a part like this, since as alligoat has pointed out correctly, they aren't always constructed the same.

freddy333 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm losing my mind to look for the way to get the '727 replica DW bridges' on my Valjoux72 for my 6265 Daytona. The bridges appear to be totally off, and Domenico can not get them in work. Ziggy was unable to get mine (from jewelryandwatch) to fit on my V72. I suspect the bridge will need to be modded a bit to make it fit correctly & at some point, I will try again myself. Jojo35, do you think the jeweleryandwatch bridges are any better ? Except for the finish (which is not bad, just not perfect), Phong's bridge looks like the real thing. If only it fit. As much as I hate to say it since I assisted DW in designing his, Phong's chrono bridges are probably the best (looking) I have seen (but his pricing is ridiculous ).
